Tractor Soaps

I love harvest time in Iowa.
 
These are everywhere!
Tractors hard at work.
Bringing in the much awaited harvest.
 
These tractor soaps work hard, too.
They lather and clean well.
And there are no detergents in them.
They are made of glycerin soap.
Soap with color added.
Soap with fragrance added.
The fragrance of Fresh Mowed Grass.
 
Maybe you know a farmer who drives one of these.
This was inspired by John Deere tractors.
 
How about one of these?
It was inspired by the Case IH tractor.
The red needs to be a bit deeper to be more true to life.
 
This one was sure fun to make!
It was inspired by a blue Ford tractor.
 
I hadn't heard of the Allis-Chalmers tractor until recently.
A customer requested this Allis-Chalmers inspired soap.
 
Thank you, Farmers,
For working hard to feed America.
 
Tractor soaps are for sale in my Etsy shop.
They are also for sale on SoapArtOnline.
 
Thanks for reading!

Orchid Soap


Isn’t it beautiful? 

A friend of mine who recently returned from Hawaii presented this orchid soap to me as a gift.  When she first gave it to me I thought, “What a cute little corsage!”   When I looked more closely and saw that it was soap, I was blown away.



I love the way it is packaged.  I’m impressed that it made the trip from Hawaii to Iowa without any decrease in quality.  It is so pretty, and it smells wonderful too.  I appreciate the craftsmanship that went into it and will enjoy looking at it and displaying it. 

Will I use it?  Now way!  Instead, I will continue to enjoy its beauty and fragrance for years to come.  And I will think of my friend every time I look at it and stick my nose near it for a little sniff of floral luxury.

Thank you so much, Pamm, for the wonderful soap gift!  I will treasure it.
